Evaluation of the Floor Acceleration Amplification Demand of Instrumented Buildings by Baofeng Huang, Wensheng Lu

“…The floor acceleration amplification (FAA) factor is one of the most critical parameters in computing the equivalent seismic force of nonstructural component (NC). To evaluate the heightwise FAA distribution profile, the recorded acceleration response of the instrumented buildings was analyzed using the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) database. …”

State-Estimator-Based Asynchronous Repetitive Control of Discrete-Time Markovian Switching Systems by Xinghua Liu, Guoqi Ma, Prabhakar R. Pagilla, Shuzhi Sam Ge

“…Based on a detected-mode-dependent estimator, the plant and asynchronous repetitive controller are formulated as a closed-loop stochastic system. By utilizing tools from stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theory, we develop sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) such that the closed-loop system is mean square stable and also simultaneously establish a synthesis procedure for obtaining the gain matrices. …”

Internet of everything:interconnection,mining and visualization of academic data by Qiuying ZHANG, Le ZHOU, Jingyao TANG, Luoyi FU, Xinbing WANG

“…With the continuous development of the Internet of things,the concept of “things” has also expanded to academic data.Due to the massiveness of IoT node and the complexity of node relationships,it is difficult for users to obtain further analysis of the required information directly from these interconnected academic data.As an academic search system,in order to help users obtain comprehensive academic information,personalized inquiry and real-time results generation services were provided to users by AceMap through the self-developed AceKG academic knowledge map.At the same time,AceMap presents the relationship between academic data visually in the form of academic maps (such as paper maps,author maps,etc.)…”

Révision de Jane Eyre comme métacommentaire philosophique dans les romans d’Anita Brookner by Eileen Williams-Wanquet

“…Whereas Jane Eyre can ultimately be read as a “Victorian romance” which preaches reason in the name of social order, by replacing the traditional happy ending by an unhappy ending in which virtue is punished and by foregrounding the disastrous effects of suppressing passion in the name of reason or self in the name of the other, Brookner announces the end of a philosophical humanistic tradition in which the subject / object or self / other opposition gives rise to a host of binary oppositions, the notion of centre validating the dominance of one of the terms of the hierarchy.…”
